What happened

Forest River, Inc. is recalling certain buses from model years 2012 to 2018, including Elkhart Coach, Glaval, and StarCraft models equipped with Ricon S-Series and K-Series Titanium wheelchair lifts. The recalled lifts have a positioning input cam that may fail during use, causing the wheelchair platform to stop above the vehicle floor instead of aligning with it. This positioning defect creates a tipping hazard for wheelchair users as they exit the lift.

Forest River will notify owners of the recall, which began October 10, 2018. Ricon dealers will replace the faulty wheelchair lift positioning input cam at no charge to owners. Affected consumers should contact Ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884 or reference Forest River's recall number 51-0852 to arrange the replacement.

Hazard

If the wheelchair lift platform stops above the vehicle floor, the wheelchair user can tip inwards toward the vehicle when exiting the lift, increasing their risk of injury.

What should I do?

Forest River will notify owners, and Ricon dealers will replace the wheelchair lift positioning input cam, free of charge. The recall began October 10, 2018. Owners may contact Ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884. Forest River's number for this recall is 51-0852.
